In 2020, when CSK had a very bad season, when they could not qualify for playoffs for the first time, he was asked this question. His answer 'definitely not' took a cult status and eventually became a tag line for CSK, and also made it to their merchandise and T-shirts. 

"Definitely, because it will be unfair to not to say thank you to Chennai. Won't be nice to do that to CSK fans."

Dhoni has gone on to play two seasons after that, even winning the 2021 season for the Chennai franchise.

On Friday (May 20), Dhoni was asked again if he would come back to play on 2023.  

This is what he replied: "Definitely, because it will be unfair to not to say thank you to Chennai. Won't be nice to do that to CSK fans."

He went on to say tha hopefully next year, IPL will be held at all placed and he will be able to thank all the venues he has played and won in. 

"And also, hopefully next year there will be an opportunity where the teams will be travelling so it will be a like thank you to all the different places where we will be playing games at different venues. Whether it will be my last year or not that's a big question because you know we can't really predict about something two years down the line, but definitely I'll be working hard to come back strong next year," said Dhoni.
